Robert Plant isn’t really fond of RHCP
As per Showbizspy: Music legend Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin fame) doesn’t take kindly to new music – and isn’t scared to make his feelings known. The aging rock veteran, 59, was heard rubbishing critically acclaimed rock acts Radiohead and the Red Hot Chili Peppers – and then demanded to hear Captain Beefheart instead. A source said: “He was drinking with a woman and didn’t like the choice of tunes playing. “Radiohead was on and he started complaining. He said, ‘What’s this rhyming c**p?’ “The staff were obviously keen to please him so they changed the music. They put on the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who they thought might be…

Some video lessons in Total Guitar, January 2008 issue
There’s some RHCP and John in this month’s issue of Total Guitar (the one with Dave Grohl on the cover), as the CD with a photo of John on its cover is attached to the magazine. There’s nothing in the magazine itself, so put the CD in your computer, wait for it to load, then when the menu appears, go to video licks, to access tutorials on riffs for four of the five Stadium Arcadium singles (Dani California, Tell Me Baby, Snow and Hump De Bump) as well as the title track. The files are in lower quality .flv format and, just to make it clear, although John is on…

Site updates, 20th January 2008
This week’s update is pretty much homogenic, as it contains only of scanned magazines. But there’s ten of them! Guitar Part, August 2007 Guitar Part, October 2006 Gitarzysta, September 2006 Gitarzysta, July 2006 Guitar Part, June 2006 Tribune de Geneve, 25th April 2006 Guitar Xtreme, July and August 2004 Rock Mag, March 2004 Lolie, May 2003 Mean Street, July 2002 The above was, believe it or not, not collected by one of the two usual suspects when it comes to the ancient discipline of magazine hunting (and also the ancient discipline of staying up until five in the morning, but that is yet a different story)…so, many thanks to amazing,…

Weekly playlist: 16th-22nd January 2008.

Site updates, 15th January 2008
I’m sorry for the downtime on Sunday and bandwidth problem on Monday; the hosting company was upgrading some things and I believe there was an issue with the bandwidth measuring device, but I’m not 100% sure. Also, I have been told that the better versions of Green Fest clips are out of synch (thank you, Veljko Simović!); so expect those to be updated soon. Not today though, as both that and the playlist are delayed due to the yesterday’s bandwidth screwup and my work obligations for this day. Thanks for your understanding, the playlist with some of your wishes on it is due sometime tomorrow and the videos are due…

If you live in St. Louis in USA, don’t miss this
If you live in St. Louis in USA, do not miss to check out Todd Owyoung’s concert photography at the Suite 100; it will be up until February 10th. As it was said in St. Louis Today, among the bands Owyoung photographed here are the Police, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Strokes, Polyphonic Spree, the Sounds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modern Day Zero, Tony Bennett and Common. A confetti-strewn photo of Polyphonic Spree’s Tim DeLaughter is particularly arresting, as are images of Eagles of Death Metal’s Dave Catching and Fabrizio Moretti of the Strokes. To read the whole article about the exhibition, click here. To see Todd’s photos from the…

The new solo album is cooking, confirmed by the label
Record Collection Music seem to have their website working again and this is what it says: John Frusciante is finally back from just over 2 years of touring. Hearing whispers that John has been working on a new album. Unfortunately we have no solid details to give. For everyone who’s into speculation, putting pieces together and blablayaddayadda, these are the other things friends of Invisible Movement and I have (not) found out so far: The yet-to-be-titled album is supposedly mastered According to Ryan Hewitt’s page Tape Op article

Site updates, 07th January 2008
…on a Monday. First of all, all the Green Fest videos have been re-uploaded, with the highest possible bitrate a .wmv file could have (2.1 Mbps) and in 640×480 resolution; so feel free to re-download them if you like it big. The links for iPod-complatible files have been fixed, thanks to Richard and Steven who pointed me out there were mistakes with some of them. If you’re having problems with videos and if they do not download completely, that is because the server is sometimes moody, I’d advice you to use something that can resume a download and download only one file at one time. That gives everyone equal chance…
